① SA Source

Context Before

As always, the tradeoff is that of throughput versus latency. TP=8 within a group means those 8 GPUs now share a batch and must synchronize every decode step, reducing effective DP degree from 64 to 8. Per-GPU batching independence on the attention side is lost. But each DP group now processes attention 8x faster per step, since the matmul is split 8 ways across the TP group. Per-token latency drops while peak concurrency also drops, sliding the configuration along the latency-throughput Pareto frontier relative to pure DEP.

Disaggregated Prefill

Evidence

This is a memory-intensive process as the growing KV cache is constantly being loaded

Context After

In traditional single-node inference, engines interleave prefill and decode on the same GPUs. Incoming prefill requests stall in-flight decode batches, increasing both time-to-first-token and inter-token latency. Chunked prefill mitigates this by breaking long prefills into smaller pieces, but the fundamental resource contention remains. Disaggregated prefill eliminates this entirely!
